Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You know that:
- The roped-off area whose width is represented with <em>x,</em> it is created around a rectangular museum.
- The dimensions of the rectangular museum are: 30 ft by 10 ft.
- The combined area of the display and the roped-off area is 800 ft².
2. The area of the rectangular museum can be calculated with:
Where 
is the lenght and 
is the width.
You have that the lenght and the width in feet are:
3. Let's call 
the width of the roped-off area. Then, the combined area is:
Where
4. Substitute values and simplify. Then:

Answer:
24 and 48
Today, the son is 24 years old, and the father is 48 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52
3x + 20 = 52
3x = 72
x = 24
The father is 2 times his son's age.
2x
= 2(24)
= 48
So, the son is 24 and the father is 48.
10 years ago, son was 14 and father was 38, if added, this adds up to 52, so we know our calculations are correct.
